Michele:
Don’t wait until you feel ready. And don’t let fear convince you that you aren’t capable.
There was a time when I was happy. Life was comfortable, familiar & safe. Nothing was particularly difficult, but nothing was really stretching me either. Looking back now, I realise I was living in a comfortable nest. I just didn’t know it.
Sometimes we all need a jolt. Like a mother, bird gently but firmly, nudging her chick out of the nest, life has a way of pushing us towards something bigger than we ever imagined for ourselves.
For me, that push came in the form of becoming a tour guide.
The dream was there, but so was the fear.
I remember walking through the city one day behind another guide as he effortlessly shared the history of Cape Town. His knowledge seemed endless. As I listened, one thought kept repeating in my mind: “I could never do that.”
Fear has an incredible ability to convince us that we aren’t enough.
But I would say to another woman dreaming of taking that first brave step: take it anyway. You don’t need to know everything. You don’t need to have every answer. You just need to be willing to begin.
And surround yourself with people who believe in you - sometimes they can see your potential long before you can see it yourself.
